Link Note to Internal Documentation

It is possible to connect a Note element to another element's internal documentation. This enables you to externalize model documentation to the diagram level, and as Enterprise Architect keeps the Note and the internal structure in synch, you do not have to update the Note; in fact, you are blocked from editing the Note text, because it is maintained automatically.

In the example below, two notes are connected into an element's internal structures. One is connected to an attribute, and displays the attribute name and notes. The other is connected to a constraint, showing the constraint name and documentation.
